Chapter 12 Strict Rules

After dinner, Shi Zhongyu sat on a rock, holding a book, and silently recited the sect rules.

Only when the bell rang did Shi Zhongyu put away his books.

He followed the crowd to the side hall of Lingxiao City and sat down obediently in the same spot he had been in yesterday.

The disciples sitting next to him all looked displeased when they saw Shi Zhongyu.

However, they seemed to be anticipating what would happen next, and each of them looked on with anticipation.

Shi Zhongyu didn't look at his fellow disciples; he sat on the animal-shaped cushion and silently recited the sect rules.

These idiots, they always say they'll ask questions about the rules, but they never said they'd only ask him.

Accompanied by the tolling of a bell.

The elder then began explaining the sword techniques.

Shi Zhongyu composed himself and listened attentively.

"Having received instruction in sword principles, swordsmanship proficiency +5."

"Having received instruction in sword principles, swordsmanship proficiency +5."

"Having received instruction in sword principles, swordsmanship proficiency +5."

……

With the guidance of the elder, Shi Zhongyu's swordsmanship proficiency continued to improve.

This time, Elder Cheng focused specifically on the Snow Mountain School's sword techniques, skipping over the basic sword techniques.

Therefore, Shi Zhongyu's basic swordsmanship did not improve.

As Shi Zhongyu's mastery of swordsmanship deepened, his proficiency with the Snow Mountain School swordsmanship slowed down.

After 45 minutes, the swordsmanship proficiency stopped increasing.

However, Shi Zhongyu kept his eyes tightly closed at this moment.

Elder Cheng's explanation improved his proficiency in the Snow Mountain Sword Technique.

These swordsmanship skills turned into strands of memories, exploding in his mind.

In Shi Zhongyu's mind, he saw scenes of him constantly practicing the Snow Mountain Sword Technique in the snow-capped mountains and martial arts training grounds.

As he digested the last trace of memory, a line of words reappeared on the pages of his book.

"The Snow Mountain Sword Technique has reached the proficiency level."

Martial Arts: Proficient in Snow Mountain Swordplay (0/300)

With the Snow Mountain Sword Technique reaching a proficient level, Shi Zhongyu's understanding of the sword technique deepened once again.

I was initially quite unfamiliar with and didn't quite understand some of the sword techniques, but now I can understand them a little better.

While Shi Zhongyu closed his eyes to comprehend sword techniques, some people were also silently watching him.

For example, Feng Wanli, Bai Wanjian, and others.

Feng Wanli saw that Shi Zhongyu simply closed his eyes and did not continue cultivating the mental technique, thus affecting his fellow disciples.

While he admired his obedience, he couldn't help but frown.

Although this disciple has only been a student for two days, some of his personality traits have already emerged.

For example, a martial arts fanatic.

His disciple was an extremely talented martial arts fanatic.

Not only is he highly talented in martial arts, but he can also practice from morning till night without any intention of resting.

This is good, but Feng Wanli also wants his disciples to be able to communicate more with their fellow disciples.

Putting everything else aside, at least don't ruin your relationship with your fellow disciples on the very first day.

Soon, Elder Cheng finished explaining the Seventy-Two Styles of Snow Mountain Sword Technique.

After he finished explaining, he took a small sip of tea.

Then, Elder Cheng's gaze swept over all the disciples in the side hall.

Some people frowned in thought, while others looked completely bewildered...

When Elder Cheng saw this, he didn't say much.

Each person can gain some insight after listening.

If not, then it must be because your comprehension is too poor.

The elder gave these disciples some time to process their thoughts.

Fifteen minutes later, Elder Chang coughed lightly.

"At this time yesterday, I gave some newly initiated disciples a brief explanation of the sect rules."

"And it's been decided that we'll be doing a spot check on the results today. I wonder how well you newly initiated disciples are prepared?"

As soon as Elder Cheng spoke, the expressions of the disciples beside Shi Zhongyu became solemn.

However, some disciples looked uneasy.

They've only been here a few days, and they haven't even fully memorized the Snow Mountain Sect's rules yet!

As the elders glanced over, some disciples looked confident, while others appeared apprehensive.

After finishing his speech, the elder looked at some of the disciples who had joined the sect earlier.

"And you guys too, I'll be doing spot checks!"

These disciples who had joined the sect earlier appeared quite calm.

They had already memorized the rules of the sect.

As for the disciples who hadn't memorized the sect rules before, they were now being punished by being forced to memorize them.

After finishing speaking, Elder Cheng pointed to a disciple who was close to him.

"You, recite the third rule!"

Upon hearing this, the disciple stood up, bowed to Elder Cheng, and then began to recite.

"The third rule of our sect is that one must not bully or harm those who do not know martial arts."

"Disciples of my Snow Mountain Sect are strictly prohibited from harming anyone they encounter, including doctors, women and children, the elderly, and the disabled!"

"If you violate this rule, your martial arts will be abolished and you will be expelled from the sect!"

The elder nodded slightly.

"very good!"

He then pointed to one of his disciples.

"Come here, what is the ninth rule of our sect?"

"Returning to Elder, the ninth rule of our sect is that one must obtain approval before leaving the mountain, and is not allowed to leave the mountain without permission, let alone cause trouble outside."

"All disciples must obtain permission from their master or sect leader before leaving the mountain and may receive a token to do so! Furthermore, it is strictly forbidden to leave the mountain without authorization, to commit adultery, kidnapping, murder, arson, or to tarnish the reputation of the Snow Mountain Sect!"

"Anyone who leaves the mountain without permission violates this rule and will have both legs cut off and be expelled from the Snow Mountain Sect!"

As the disciple finished reciting this rule, everyone's expression turned solemn.

The rules of the Snow Mountain Sect are extremely strict; at best, they will simply abolish martial arts skills, and at worst, they will be beheaded.

The elder nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the newly initiated disciple.

He did not immediately ask Shi Zhongyu a question, but instead pointed to one of Shi Zhongyu's disciples.

"Come here!"

"Tell me, what is the seventh rule of our sect?"

The disciple's expression changed slightly when he saw Elder Chang pointing at him.

He hurriedly stood up, opened his mouth, but made no sound.

"Reporting to the Elder, this disciple...does not know!"

The old man's expression turned solemn.

"As a newly initiated disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect, how come you can't even remember our sect's rules?"

"Guards, drag him out and cut off his tongue!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, two supervising disciples came over and pulled the disciple away.

Feng Wanli, Bai Wanjian, and the others' expressions changed, and Bai Wanjian even stood up.

"Wait a minute!"

Elder Chang turned to look at Bai Wanjian, his expression solemn.

"Wan Jian, what do you have to say?"

"Elder, this disciple has only been a disciple for two days. We have many rules and regulations, so it's normal that he can't remember them all."

"How about giving him some time?"

Feng Wanli and the others also hurriedly pleaded for mercy.

When the elder saw the group bowing their heads, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Since you've all jointly pleaded for leniency, then punish him by making him copy the sect rules a thousand times!"

Bai Wanjian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and immediately glared at the disciple.

"Aren't you going to thank Elder Chang?"

The disciple, who had been terrified, immediately knelt down to express his gratitude upon hearing that it was just copying.

"This disciple thanks Elder Cheng!"

The elder gave a soft "hmm" and waved to the supervising disciples, signaling them to set it aside.

Then his gaze fell on Shi Zhongyu.

"Shi Zhongyu, tell me, what is the seventh rule of our Snow Mountain Sect?"

Upon seeing this, Feng Wanli and Hua Wanzi felt a slight tightening in their hearts.

Shi Zhongyu slowly stood up and bowed to Elder Chang.
